Sam operates Pawsitive Marks, a dog training company that serves the communities of Durango, Bayfield, and Ignacio, CO. Pawsitive Marks specializes in in-home and out-in-the-world training for puppies and adult dogs, offering private training similar to traditional Board and Train programs, but without the need for your dog to leave your care.
Their training programs encompass puppy training & socialization, general dog training, behavioral modification, off-leash training, and more. In addition to being a CPDT-KA certified through CCPDT, Sam is also a KPA Certified Training Partner through the Karen Pryor Academy (KPA) and is a student at the Academy of Dog Trainers. With over 16 years of professional training experience, Sam brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to her work.
